ratman197 (2152), Arvada, Colorado, USA Apr 24, 2008 750 ml bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a lasting creamy ivory head. Aromas of blueberry, light blackberry and cookie. Palate was medium bodied crisp and tart. Flavors of blueberry, blackberry and carmel with a crisp dry bitter finish.
Habanero (440), Tranbjerg, Denmark Jul 5, 2008 Bottled: Pours hazy and dark orange with a nice pale, pink head. Berry nose with yeast. Crisp, medium bodied and with a sweet /sour flavour. Slightly bitter finish. The 10 pct. isn’t present untill the end. I normally don’t drink fruit beer, but this one is an enjoyable brew. Rciesla (674), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Jul 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a purple body with a light color head. Lots of blueberry and blackberries in the nose and flavor. Very very good. Some hop character and of course the etoh is kinda strong but i think it has its place as well. I really enjoyed this one. sleepylopes (231), New York, USA Jun 28, 2008 ruby color with a pale washout head. nice and ripe aroma with cream and yeast, a touch of hops. not as sweet and not as sour as you would thing. crisp finish that shows the hops and alcohol. brewblackhole (1214), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Jun 23, 2008 Aroma is very berryish,with someone kind of soapy off yeast backing, taste is slightly sour blackberry,with a bitter drying finish,slightly astringent,alcohol only subtlely hinted at,with definite warming of the tummy. I’m drinking on a warm humid night where a perky tart fruit beer is hitting the spot,doesn’t leave that thickish afterfeel on the tongue,so its even refreshing in its own way. Enjoyable is certain circumstances BOLTZ7555 (402), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jun 19, 2008 So I’m not quite sure why everyone is so harsh with this one. In the glass, this beer glows blood orange with golden highlights and a 1/2 inch peach foam that hangs on for a minute or two. Aroma is freshly picked black & blueberries (as one would hope). Noticeable sourness, belgian yeast, banana, clove, and spice are on the tongue. Thick enough to remember, not too thick for nightmares...interesting.
